    Hi everyone.

    FloorSkills is having a official opening and also a official awards day by Cskills / City & Guilds as we have been awarded official recognition of our courses by the qualifications / construction awards. All FloorSkills courses are now fully accredited. In other words if you do a course with FloorSkills its fully recognized just like a NVQ or other qualifications. FloorSkills is the ONLY training provider to be awarded the accreditation.

    To celebrate we are having the awards giving and official opening of FloorSkills combined in one day.

    You are all invited along ! The whole family is invited along.

    The date set is Friday 12th July 2013

    We will have-

    Product demonstrations
    Tool demonstrations
    Prize draw
    Massive discount on Tramex moisture meters and other tools/clothes etc.
    BBQ/food/drink
    Bouncy castle (for the kids)

    more to be added....

    I need a idea of numbers. Can you all let me know in this post or by PM if you will be coming along.

    Hope to see you all soon.

    looks like this will be the only date. We might have another open day later in the year but we are booked up solid with courses for the next 18 months ! (we have places on courses but the dates are set) we have very limited days left where the training centre is empty. These 'empty' days are normally booked by manufactures for staff training.


    BUT, birmingham airport is only 10 minutes away :confused:

    Half boxes are no good to us any more mate. :(

    We are pretty much covered my end by manufacturers now. But we are always happy to take donations. We would request that any donations can cover a area of 5 sq'm tho as that is what we need to cover the small training bays, any thing under that we cant use up so becomes waste.

    Thanks.
